Glorious hats of Queen Elizabeth II
Prince Charles' investiture
For Charles' formal investiture as Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester in 1969, the British monarchy wore a sunny pale-yellow hat that perfectly matched her outfit. The hat's design was nothing like the Queen had previously worn.
Floral affair
For a formal occasion in Malta in 1967, the Queen wore this swim-cap-inspired floral hat to match her floral printed coat.
Green tam o'shanter
In 1980, the monarch changed her look a tad bit and opted for a green tam o'shanter. This particular hat reflects Queen's Scottish roots.
Pastel with paisley design
While visiting the Isle of Man in 1989, the Queen sported a pastel blue hat that featured a paisley design at the top. This is one of her favourite hats of all time.
Polka dots
In 1993, Her Majesty wore a fifties-themed colourful polka dot hat that matched her green coast.
Ribbons on rim
In 1998, the Queen visited Malaysia and during one of her appearances, she wore this blue-grey hat which featured twirling grey and cream-coloured ribbons right along the rim.
Purple-blue pastels
In 2010, Her Majesty hosted a garden party at Buckingham Palace. For the occasion, she wore this lilac and blue hat that featured several feathers.
Platinum Jubilee
This year at Queen's Platinum Jubilee, which celebrated her 70 years in service, the monarch donned a green hat to match her green ensemble. To accessorize, she wore pearl necklaces.
